2012 Year in Review (Part 2): Top 12 Songs of the Year
Ahhh, the well crafted song. There’s nothing better than when musical notes and poetry come together to create a beautiful union. A good back-beat, well planned musical flourishes, instrumental solo’s, background vocals, a prefectly timed hand-clap breakdown; these are the things I look for in a great song. That and listenability, playability, and the overall feeling of the song. Regardless of how you listen, we all know a good song when we hear it. So here are my favorites of 2012. Enjoy.

12. Ben Gibbard – Teardrop Windows
11. Ben Folds Five – Do It Anyway
10. Heartless Bastards – Parted Ways
